Exterior view of the Our Lady of Lourdes, Catholic Church, 9th (Ninth) and Taos Streets, Georgetown, Colorado. Brick structure, built in 1918, replaces the original brick church at 11th (Eleventh) and Main, which burned in 1917. Large crowd gathers around sides of streets with light snow, possibly for Father Walsh's funeral. Church features a front gable, a tall projecting tower topped with an enclosed bell tower with louvers, and a dome with a cross. The double entry door has a half round transom; side arched windows and each corner has a domed tower. Small wood frame residences and automobiles are along 9th Street. Picket fences show in foreground. Mountain slope fills background.
